Love in the Time of Wormholes by Jess K. Hardy

3.0

Love in the Time of Wormholes is a delightful, Sci-fic romcom that is action-packed with unique characters and a charming story.

Love in the Time of Wormholes takes place on the Ignisar, a luxury cruise line that caters to fun, relaxation, and pleasure to the galactic inter-terrestrial species. The staff of the Ignisar form the bulk of the story and have entertaining camaraderie.

Sunastra Jeka AKA Sunny is a hospitality specialist with a commitment phobia who works hard and plays even harder. When she walks into a staff meeting to see the newest employee of Ignisar, Sunny comes face to face with Freddie, her one-night stand, who rocked her world multiple times and left quite the impression.

As Sunny and Freddie navigate this new relationship as co-workers and fight their feelings for each other, the Ignisar gains new occupants that could spell danger for not only the staff but everyone aboard. The romance was very subtle and sweet, centering on Sunny's inability to commit to a relationship based on her traumatic past and Freddie's determination to win her over.

I enjoyed the multitudes of emotions throughout the story from the fun light-hearted banter with the crew, to a deep resounding feeling of loss and lastly the feeling of danger on the horizon.

The stand-out for me has to be the cast of diverse, complex, and unique variety of characters. Each character had such phenomenal development that I am hyped for the future books to see what's in store. My only qualm was that the dialogue felt a bit monotone and I wanted more layers of intricacy with the plot.

Love in the Time of Wormholes is a highly entertaining novel featuring immersive world-building, rich description, and vivacious characters. It is a story of love, loss, sacrifice, friendship, and second chances.

Thank you to Reedsy Discovery for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.
